Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

A ball with mass m kg is thrown upward with initial velocity 22 m/s from the roof of a building 17 m high. Neglect air resistance. Use g=9.8 m/s2. Round your answers to one decimal place. (a) Find the maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches. xmax= meters (b) Assuming that the ball misses the building on the way down, find the time that it hits the ground.

a) Using the equation of motion formula;

v² = u²+2gH where;

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

theta is the angle of launch

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

H is the maximum height reached by the ball

Since the ball is thrown upwards, the acceleration due to gravity will be negative. The equation then becomes;

v² = u²-2gH

Given

v = 0m/s

u = 22m/s

g = 9.8m.s²

0² = 22²-2(9.8)H

-22² = -19.6H

H = -22²/-19.6

H = 24.69m

If the biuliding is 17m high, the maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches will be;

Hmax = 24.69+17

Hmax = 41.69m

b) The time it takes to hit the ground can be expressed using the formula

v = u-gt

0 = 22-9.8t

-22 = -9.8t

t = -22/9.8

t = 2.45secs
